Hello, Are there any features planned that would enable an external process to reset the offsets of a given consumer group? I realize this goes counter to the design of the system, but it would be convenient if offsets could be reset as a simple admin command.
The strategies we've investigated are (1) to somehow signal running consumers that they should rewind their offsets, and (2) to stop all consumers, run a "rewind" consumer as the sole member of the original consumer group, have that consumer commit the desired offsets and exit, and then restart the normal consumers. Both of these are more complex than we'd like. For context, we're running 0.9 with offsets stored in kafka. Thanks, Luke
